Finish your GoAnimate Project. Remember you CANNOT USE the ones that say "Business Exclusive" they will NOT SAVE
If you did one last week that did not save, you will get extra credit but I would like you to use this time to create a new one that can be saved and submitted to me. You can use the same ideas, just pick a format that can be saved!!! If you are unsure which ones are OK, add a scene, then try and save it. If it works, you are good, if not, pick a new one

Make sure you have copied all the notes from the News, Politics and Media Violence Units (check the Unit Pages for the notes)

Today is the LAST DAY for your Politics Project. GET IT TURNED IN (that means you need to focus today)
Some of you are a little confused. Here is a quick summary of what to do (see the project document for more details)
Here is an easy break down:
Pick a Candidate/topic and do the research part (with the quotes and stuff)
Use that information to write a 30 second commercial for your candidate (make sure to say their name 3 times, tell people to vote for that candidate, make it interesting and use the quotes and information from the 1st section). Make sure to read it aloud and time it.
Find images online that match up to your commercial words (so if you are talking about education, find pictures of education)
Break your commercial script apart and add the pictures in so that it is easy to see what is being said during each image (see the Minion example)
